OOC Note: Open to Jedi
Bal’Demnic was a planet of two worlds. Storms dominated the vast ocean that covered much of the surface, but a single massive continent at the center was a mountain paradise. Spiraling peaks, deep beautiful rive ravines, and thick tundra covered the surface. Bal’Demnic held a twin secret. The crust of the ocean world was rife with cortosis and the sheer continental shelf hid kyber crystals. Unfortunately, Bal’Demnic's monarchy was fiercely private, and despite being lodged firmly in FWA space, maintained a careful neutrality. They sold cortosis to the highest bidder. They kept the kyber out of the hands of the Order. All of this made Bal’Demnic the perfect location to train fledgling Jedi.
Jedi Councilor Alexandria Voran sat on the controls of the Kom’rk-class Transport. The ship ordinarily required a co-pilot, but she shunted the duties to a particularly rambunctious astromech droid. She had business on stormy world below and the faster it was done, the better. Ordinarily, Alex would have been accompanied by some manor of senior Jedi…but today was different. The future of the Jedi depended on the youth of the Order. There was no future without compassionate, wise, and well-trained Jedi. That was her goal. The Padawans in the passenger compartment of transport were the future, a future Alex planned to see through. She flicked on the coms.
“Young ones! We are nearing the surface, prepare to disembark.” Alex whipped the transport along the coast of the massive super continent. Her senses rang in the Force. A storm is coming. Her eyes shifted out the cockpit, across the ocean she could see a violent storm brewing. She smiled. The storms always felt like home. A tingle raced up her spine. Her eye caught on their targeted landing zone. A brilliant clear lake at the base of one of Bal’Demnic’s many mountain rangers. A quick breath of the Force and Alex deftly brought the draft to rest. “Hurry now.” She spoke over the com again. The Padawan’s could not possible fathom what she had in store for them. She smiled.
